Don't Stop - a Ferryman and Kenny Mac collab for New Wave fest

[Ferryman_1957]

Here's another version of the new wave backer that I did, this time with some vocals, guitar and strings (yes, strings!) additions from Kenny. He took this in a completely different direction to the other two versions that I've posted so far. He added an awesome rhythm guitar track which I tried to "flange up" into a John McGeoch type sound, and it really drives the track in a different direction. And of course there's a superb vocal as well.

Enjoy!

Belter of a vocal and belter of a track. The guitar adds kind of take it into War era U2 territory to my ears.

Well done both. What a fascinating exercise this is.

Man, this is good. It has so much forward propulsion. Love the the Duran Duran-like flange (I can honestly say I would never string that sentence together). Great music and vocals.

Stellar.

I'm hearing a lot of influences here. But... Am I wrong if I'm hearing a dash of Duran Duran?

Well, it actually started out as a backer based on The Edge playing in The Cure, although the bass line is pretty classic 80s in its sound and feel. Kenny took this in a different direction. I think his wonderful vocal has a hint of Le Bon about it, so I hope he takes that as a compliment......

BTW there are two other versions up (one with ORH and one with Greeny), each with a different feel.

I can hear several influences in this track and what a fabulous collab. Excellent vocal from Kenny and stellar guitar work. Love some of those chord changes and the whole production is superb. Great work, guys.

Killer collab guys
Digging those vocals in the chorus and I love the over all energy.
The soundscape feels full but not cluttered

Totally groovy from start to finish
